Abstract
Neural tissue is entirely dependent on glucose for normal metabolic activity. Since glucose stores in the brain and retina are negligible compared to glucose demand, metabolism in these tissues is dependent upon adequate glucose delivery from the systemic circulation. In the brain, the critical interface for glucose transport is at the brain capillary endothelial cells which comprise the blood–brain barrier (BBB). In the retina, transport occurs across the retinal capillary endothelial cells of the inner blood–retinal barrier (BRB) and the retinal pigment epithelium of the outer BRB. Because glucose transport across these barriers is mediated exclusively by the sodium-independent glucose transporter GLUT1, changes in endothelial glucose transport and GLUT1 abundance in the barriers of the brain and retina may have profound consequences on glucose delivery to these tissues and major implications in the development of two major diabetic complications, namely insulin-induced hypoglycemia and diabetic retinopathy. This review discusses the regulation of brain and retinal glucose transport and glucose transporter expression and considers the role of changes in glucose transporter expression in the development of two of the most devastating complications of long-standing diabetes mellitus and its management.
